+==Design details==
+The ST/Medusa missiles are mounted in pods on Nandao, Sabre, Pegasus, and Broadsword starfighters, one pod on top of each wing.{{Ref/Reuse|Manual}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}{{Ref/Book|Id=H4VG|H4EVG|Page=114}} The missiles are fired in salvos of two each, and have lock-on capability. One salvo is sufficient to destroy a [[Elsedda-pattern Banshee|Banshee interceptor]] and even an unshielded [[Type-31 Seraph|Seraph fighter]].{{Ref/Level|HR|Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace}} The missiles can lock-on from long range and the amount of missiles that hit the target is determined by the time spent locking on, although even one or two missiles can prove deadly to most targets.
-The '''ST/Medusa Missile''' is one of the armaments utilized by [[YSS-1000|YSS-1000 Sabres]]. They are launched in salvos of four, and have lock-on capability. One salvo is sufficient to destroy an unshielded [[Type-31 XMF|''Seraph''-class starfighter]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''[[Long Night of Solace]]''</ref>
+The missiles are extremely ineffective against [[energy shielding]] and will simply bounce off shielded targets.
+==Models==
+===M3250 ST/MMP===
+The [[F-29 Nandao]] is equipped with two M3250 ST/MMP missile delivery systems.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=158-159}}
+===M4370 ST/MMP===
+The [[FSS-1000 Sabre]] and its [[Emergency Defense Fighter]] competitor, the [[S-930 Pegasus]],{{Ref/Site|Id=CFDigsite|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-digsite-dissection|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Digsite Dissection|D=31|M=07|Y=2023}} are both equipped with two M4370 ST/MMP missile delivery systems.{{Ref/Reuse|Manual}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
+===M6088 ST/MMP===
+The [[F-41 Broadsword]] is equipped with two M6088 ST/MMP missile delivery systems.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|H4VG}} This model is more powerful than the model used on Sabres, as it can effectively destroy [[Forerunner]] weaponry, such as [[Z-8250 light artillery]].{{Ref/Level|H4|Midnight}}{{Ref/Game|H4|Broadsword in-game missiles}}
